Tacos y lonche y dinner...

Jessie's Mexican and Seafood restaurant on Fourth and Azusa Ave. in Azusa serves it all. Walking down the street exploring the remodeled downtown area, I came across their banner advertising what they offer as food: "Tacos y Burritos y Breakfast." This menu on their marquee is an insightful example of how California has morphed into bilingual status and Spanglish has become acceptable enough for display on Latino businesses. Desayuno is not necessary because Spanglish is embedded into our way of speaking...and that's enough to full up the already diverse Latino culture. Now, vamos a comer!
